Fundraising Lincoln City fan can travel from Oz to Arsenal match after hitting total

Kieran Simpson will travel from Australia to see the Imps play Arsenal on March 11

A lifelong Lincoln City fan living in Australia, who set up a GoFundMe page with the aim of raising enough money to get him home to watch the Imps’ huge FA Cup tie against Arsenal, has reached his total.

Kieran Simpson, who moved to Melbourne a few years ago, has supported Lincoln City since the age of seven. He asked the public to help him raise $1,800 to get back to England to see the game on Saturday, March 11.

After a donation of $1,300 from STA Travel, Kieran will now be able to make his once in a lifetime trip to England to see the Imps play against Arsenal.

Any left over money will go to the Beyond Blue charity in Australia

Kieran managed to raise $550 through his Gofundme page, where he explained money would go towards flights, tickets for the game and somewhere to sleep.
